Objectives Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is sustained by insulin resistance (IR) and reduced beta-cell mass, which is largely due to insulin secretory dysfunction. Wnt5a protein is essential to islet formation and beta-cell migration in the development of pancreas in vertebrates. Levels of the Wnt5a protein antagonist plasma secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (Sfrp5) were elevated in patients with T2DM. However, the association between Wnt5a, T2DM patients and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is unknown. We aim to investigate the circulating Wnt5a levels in in different clinical stages of T2DM and evaluate its correlation of duration of diabetes mellitus chronic complication. Methods A total of 329 participants (187 males, 142 females; age range 40 to 80 years) were enrolled in this study. Serum Wnt5a levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The demographic and clinical parameters evaluated in subjects with new onset T2DM, onset T2DM after treatment and DKD at different clinical phases. Results Wnt5a was significantly down-regulated in newly diagnosed T2DM patients and gradually increased after 3 months of treatment. Interesting, serum wnt5a was gradually increased in patients with long-term diabetes and kidney disease compared to patients with T2DM and onset DKD. Conclusions We speculated that the Wnt5a protein might regulate islet function and be involved in the onset of diabetes as a protective factor. It may be one of the inflammatory factors adversely involved in the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
